Unresolved externals when building 4.2 with VS2012

Development Programming & Scripting

I followed these instructions to generate a VS2012 solution. Building it returns errors listed below.

How do I fix this? Alternatively, is VS2012 support deprecated?

In case it matters: I did download Optional… I did unlock files.

Hey ,

Can you check and make sure you downloaded optional dependency for 2012? Thanks!

If you mean Optional. file, then yes, I did download and extract it with rest.

Hi ,

I just want to make sure you have downloaded both source code for version 4.2, as well as three files containing dependencies for 4.2 (these files have same names for each version of Engine, so it is critical to make sure you have correct ones downloaded).
